THE LOWDOWN

HEAD-TO-HEAD
All-time meetings: Milos Raonic 3-4 Feliciano Lopez
Last meeting: Milos Raonic beat Feliciano Lopez X-X, X-X

MILOS RAONIC

  • Milos Raonic has navigated through both of his opening rounds in straight sets and most recently beat Aljaz Bedene 6-3, 7-6.
  • Raonic was a finalist here in 2016 and his game is generally well-suited to grass so he will rely on that weapon to dictate play.
  • The Canadian has never faced Lopez before on grass but they were scheduled to meet here last year before Raonic was forced to withdraw from the tournament.

FELICIANO LOPEZ

  • Spanish veteran Feliciano Lopez received a bye through to this quarter-final after his scheduled second-round opponent Del Potro pulled out.
  • Lopez is a former Queen's champion having lifted the trophy in 2017 and he has been a regular at this tournament over the years.
  • Lopez has won three of the last four meetings between the two players but they have not faced off since 2015 so that is unlikely to be a major factor heading into this quarter-final.

THE PREDICTION

Two players who revel in playing on the grass meet here and it should prove an absorbing contest as their play-styles are quite different. Lopez just edges the head-to-head but this is their first meeting on grass and Raonic's powerful serve is likely to take him over the line in this one.
